Suggestion: Only allow a radio message for fixing a non safety related issue while the car is driving in the pitlane. That way the team and driver have a choice whether to let the driver try to figure it out, or if it is serious enough, tell him to drive through the pits for instructions on how to r...

I firmly believe that Hamilton is a faster qualifier than Nico, it's just that Hamilton made a number of errors on his Q3 lap when often his Q2 lap may have got him pole. In 2014, Rosberg was just outright faster than Hamilton on Saturday, in many qualifying sessions like Bahrain, Belgium, Japan, U...

If Vettel ended up teamed with Hamilton at Ferrari, I don't think I would ever come to these forums again x( It would be magnificent :lol: Seriously though that's a pairing I hope we get to see at some point. I'm not convinced it would be all that exciting tbh. I think LH would win comfortably over...

In this type of interview Lewis comes across like a 10 yr old who is trying to remember the answers his parents gave him earlier. It was almost as though he was seeing the interview as a whole new competition with Seb for who could give the best answers. Overall though he is handling the media much...

Nico's strength is his quali pace so if LH is out pacing him consistently on Saturday's then he hasn't a hope and he knows it. Over a season he would fall in between KR and SV but that greater potential for robbing SV of points wouldn't suit Ferrari. Personally I'd love to see him at Williams as I d...

First signs of something much bigger to come. Rosberg is showing signs of unraveling. He is in the game long enough to know how stupid he sounded and yet couldn't stop himself. Major fireworks on and off track in Mercedes are inevitable this season.

Nephilist

The most shocking thing to happen so far is Button's mustache. He now looks like the kind of man you warn your kids about.

Otherwise, yes, very excited!

Nephilist

Will Lewis iron out the chinks in quali to begin beating Rosberg (consistently) on Saturdays? Will Rosberg become more aggressive on Sundays perhaps with a degree of desperation? Will Kimi find some mojo without having to live in the shadow of the great Spaniard? Will Kvyat be the next great thing o...

Nephilist

The undeniable truth is that Rosberg has done a good job to be this close in the title race as he proved in Brazil. LH is quicker in the races for the most part and certainly deserves it more, but it isn't as if the title would be going to Vettel.. now that would be shakespearean tragedy... That sai...

Damon Hill 99 Jordan

Obviously not the worst driver but worth an honorable mention as the man totally lost his bottle (and motivation) in that final year. HHF was in with a shout of the title in that car that year while Hill tallied 7 points albeit with a lot of retirements.

His interview on the BBC post quali was a little odd. He was very downbeat and speaking about mistakes. DC and EJ found it strange also. He was talking like a guy whose dog had just been put down. Strange.... Do you mean Jenson or Kevin? In Jenson's case, I doubt he would be extremely upbeat out of...

the FIA should drop the interviews , they are not a good idea , and often a bit rubbish I agree, but every so often they're really good. Eddie Jordan in Spa was spectacular.

Mercedes now called to the stewards, Rosberg as well. Lewis telling Jenni that this is a Senna-Prost situation. he plans to take a page of Senna's book and deal with it as such. So Hamilton is going to crash with Rosberg in turn 1 Don't know what he meant, just relaying his words. the part about a ...

There is another point ... The turn he made to go into the run-off appears to be tighter than the turn he apparently couldn't make to go around the corner ... I could easily be wrong about that, but the video looks a bit odd. From the outside camera I could easily agree but from onboard it looks di...

He really thought that through well in the few seconds he had. Well done him!

Nephilist

What they 'could' do if they think it is questionable is give him a penalty for not making enough of an effort to get the car as well out of the way as possible (ie he reversed), that way they hedge their bets each way. If it was deliberate then he is punished anyway, if he was innocent it leaves a ...

I normally don't care about driver personality but that man walks, talks, laughs, smiles and drips arrogance from every pore. Arrogance is nasty trait in anyone.

Between traffic and difference in tyre speed there is a good chance the leading one or two could get in and out of the first pit stop ahead of Vettel / Button. Even if they don't it'll be close, plus rbr isn't the quickest in China plus they'll be on older tyres with fast guys chasing them down etc ...

Nephilist

As absurd as the theory sounds, RBR only have themselves to blame. Perception doesn't always works well with facts, and Mark is the perceived underdog in RBR, rightly or wrongly. Also, it doesn't help that F1 is no stranger to underhanded tactics. I remember the person who started the 'Fishy Paella...

Webber will jump the start and charge through the field into Vettel's car screaming 'TWENY WAN' the whole way.

It was definitely one of those 'ah c'mon now lads you're taking the gherkin' moments, where if in 20yrs time you read a book by an ex engineer who says someone whispered an instruction in his ear to underfuel, somehow you wouldn't be shocked.

Right now he is probably the most valuable person in F1. Ferrari have made no secret that they want him. I cant see him going back to Macca. Merc have deep pockets and a lot of ambitions...
